摘要：This study investigates the deployment and pricing strategies of upstream check-in counters (UCICs) in a competitive multi-airport region (MAR). By optimizing location and pricing decisions, airports can enhance profits while improving passenger accessibility under both competitive and cooperative interactions within the MAR. We formulate a dynamic program to represent the sequential UCIC deployment and pricing game, which is solved using a best-response algorithm to achieve a Nash equilibrium, with passenger route choice modeled under stochastic user equilibrium (SUE) conditions. The UCIC deployment game involving three international airports in the Greater Bay Area reveals that first-mover advantages are short-lived, aggressive fare subsidization intensifies competition, and airports ultimately converge toward direct confrontation in high-value zones. In contrast, cooperative strategies substantially improve profits and network efficiency by reducing redundant deployments and mitigating destructive price competition.
